The Piranhas *eval grin*
this is a short but very wonderful and graphic excerpt is taken from the book called "The Piranhas"
this was given to me as a gift from laura's mother after laura told her about my very cynical and chop your balls off attitude i have towards my ex's in my life...she pointed out this chapter for me to read... haha
toooooooo funny what?? well it is read on... *muawhahaha*
"tell your friends to get in the boat" he said in his halting english. "it's not safe." something in the sound of his voice meant business. "byron!" I yelled. "the captaino wants you to get back in the boat."
"what the hell for?"
"he says it's dangerous."
"horseshit." he laughed
"the water is as calm-" he turned in the water,searching for the girl.
"you bitch! stop trying to grab my balls!"
"i'm not anywhere near you," she called back to him from five yards away.
"christ!" byron yelled-then screamed in pain. "what the hell is going on?"
He thrashed about in the water trying to swim back to the boat.
"PIRANHAS!!"
the boatman shouted, picking up a boat hook and holding it out in the water.
Diana began swimming back to us. "they're after me!" she screamed.
she grabbed the end of the boat hook, and the sailor pulled her toward us, then drew her onto
the boat. her legs were punctured with tiny bites from which the blood was already oozing.
the sailor left her lying on the deck and tried to reach byron with the hook.
I looked at him. byron was still thrashing and screaming but was moving more slowly toward us.
i grabbed the boat hook from the sailor and took his arm so that i could lean farther toward byron.
"grab the hook,byron!' I yelled.
still screaming in pain, he reached and grabbed the hook. the sailor grabbed him under the armpits and hauled
him onto the boat.
I had seen terrible things in Nam but never anything like this.
his right leg was eaten away almost to the naked bone.
the flesh of his left leg hanging in tatters to the bones of his feet.
byron was starring at me, his eyes clouded with pain and fear. he looked down at himself
he couldn't form any words, only a moaning, screaming sound.
His groin was in a puddle of torn flesh and blood,
his penis and testicles gone. he turned his head back up toward me
and tried to speak, but no words came from his mouth.
"he will die" the captain said without emotion. " i have seen this before. it will take one hour, maybe two, but he will die."
"isn't there something we can do?"
the captain shook his head.
"kill him" he said impassively. "or let him die by himself in agony."
"i turned to byron. he spoke with his eyes. he knew what the captain had said. he managed a word. "family"
I knew what he meant. I reached behind me to the bench and took the automatic in my hand.
with the gun still behind me, i flipped the safety off with one hand. then I kissed him on the forehead.
"family" I said covered his eyes with my hand. i then pulled the trigger.
slowly i rose to my feet and looked down at him. byron was gone. and part of me was also gone.
but another part of me was reborn. family.
"what shall we do with him?" the captain asked.
for the first time i realized that the two other sailors were standing near us.
"there is nothing we can do," I said, gesturing toward the side of the boat.
i heard the splash of byron's body as it hit the water.
it's fucked up isn't it? what a crazy part of the book... but hey you can't go around being a dick and
think its not gonna come back and bite you and it off eventually ha ha *sarcastic smirk*
today is your day now seize it!! ;)
